Keep
in mind the central and critical purpose of ALL of this democratic
activity surrounding who is going to be our next President. Our
ultimate goal is to bring into our political structures enough people
who are willing and able to respond to our collective political
dictates. As usual, this is going to boil down to a contest between
the elected representatives of two parties -- the Democrats and the
Republicans. Setting aside the Republican prospects of this electoral
process, for the moment, let's just consider our options and their
ramifications for the two top candidates for the Democratic Party.

Because
of the growing divisiveness between Hillary and Bernie, should she be
selected by the Democrats to be their nominee for President, a large
number of the discouraged former Bernie supporters -- in
particular the Progressive and much of the Liberal wings of the party
-- will
probably just not participate and stay home on voting day. This
withdrawal of support by the disillusioned Bernie crowd will also be
reflected in a major
weakening of
support for Congressional members, as well. Compound that with the
obvious near total rejection of everything Clinton by the Republicans
and we most likely could end up with a severely handicapped
Democratic Party -- in both the Executive and Congressional branches
of government. T hus,
the
country will
be forced to accept a dominating Republican Party to, once again, run
roughshod over our wishes.

Now,
let's consider the ramifications of the other front-runner for the
Democratic Party -- Bernie Sanders. Should he win the party
election
to be the Democratic nominee to run against the Republicans, it is
most likely that the bulk of the
rest
of the Democratic Party will rally
in
support, as that is a traditional practice among the Democrats. Of
course there will be some holdouts, but their number will not be
anywhere near as large as it would be if Hillary is selected.

The
ultimate considerations have to do with who -- between Hillary and
Bernie -- c ould
win the race for the Presidency AND how much support would they bring
with them into Congress. As I stated above, because of her weakened
support, Hillary would take office with weakened Democratic support
and absolutely NO Republican support from Congress.

On
the other hand, a Bernie Presidency would not only bring a more
supportive Democratic Party but the very real prospect of some
support from various members of the Republican Party, as polls are
already beginning to reflect a growing number of discouraged
Republicans abandoning Donald Trump for the financially uncompromised
Sanders.

As
for a Trump presidency, after the results of a very unique and
hard-fought battle for the Presidency between Trump (or
any other Republican candidate) and
Bernie, there is no doubt that there would be a much larger
Democratic standing in Congress than there would be in the aftermath
of a Republican /Clinton
battle.

Take
these irrefutable facts into the voting booth, when it comes time for
you to vote!
